Description
Olive Elizabeth Aykroyd studied Natural Sciences at Trinity College Dublin in the 1930s, obtaining a PhD in 1938. Inspired by her brass microscope and scientific research her daughter, artist Mary Pritchard, has created a homage to her life and work.
This exhibition and art installation brings together a variety of media and archival material, from biological slides and scientific papers to photographs and letters, revealing the personal history of Olive the scientist.
View huge posters of insects, a mock-up of her laboratory and alternative artwork by Mary, all derived from or inspired by Olive’s scientific journey.
